DELPHINIUM HYBRIDS for Your Garden 
Their stately splendor so enhances the garden that they have 
become the stars of the June picture. The September display brings 
a brilliant contrast to the rush of autumn colors and is often enjoyed 
even more than in midsummer. The harmony of the beloved del- 
phinium blues shade into the delicacy of hushed lavenders, are 
lifted upon notes of purest white, only to play back into the 
thunderous tones of the Black Knight. 
Perhaps the most gratifying quality of the superior Delphiniums 
of today is the hardiness and good nature allowing every garden 
to own this aristocrat. These newer strains of Delphiniums are 
no temperamental hybrids. Seldom is found a perennial that gives 
such a gigantic exhibition from seed in one year. In all of our 
Delphinium stock, you will enjoy superior quality in the strong 
stems, luxuriant leaf growth which will send forth a breath-taking 
spire of beauty, exquisite in every detail. The spires in Offerman 
Gardens average 6 feet tall and individual blossoms 3 inches 
across, with no less than 13 and up to 22 petals.
